The Double-Cleansing Method: Why Oats Are a Skincare Essential
✨ The Double-Cleansing Method: Unlocking the Power of Oats for Radiant Skin
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, some methods are more than fleeting trends—they’re transformative rituals. One such method that’s earned its place in the skincare hall of fame is double-cleansing. And when paired with the calming, nurturing properties of oats, the result is nothing short of skin magic.
Let’s break down what double-cleansing is, why it matters, and how oats can elevate your routine from effective to exceptional.
🧼 What Is Double-Cleansing, Anyway?
Originally a cornerstone of Korean skincare, double-cleansing involves washing your face twice: once with an oil-based cleanser and then again with a water-based cleanser.
Why It Works:
-
Step 1 (Oil-Based): Breaks down makeup, SPF, excess sebum, and pollution.
-
Step 2 (Water-Based): Removes sweat, bacteria, and water-based impurities.
This two-step ritual ensures a thorough cleanse—leaving your skin clean, balanced, and ready to absorb the goodness of your serums and moisturisers.
🌾 Oats in Skincare: Gentle, Effective, and Wonderfully Natural
At Puremess, we’re big believers in letting nature do the heavy lifting—and oats are one of our favourite multitaskers.
✨ Here’s why oats are a dream for your skin:
-
Natural Exfoliant: Oats gently buff away dead skin without scratching or stripping.
-
Soothing Power: They’re rich in avenanthramides—antioxidants with anti-inflammatory effects, perfect for calming redness and sensitivity.
-
Hydration Hero: Oats contain lipids and beta-glucans that act like a moisture-locking shield.
-
Barrier Support: They help repair and protect your skin’s natural barrier from harsh weather and environmental stressors.
It’s like giving your skin a hug—every time you cleanse.
💧 Why Oats and Double-Cleansing Make the Perfect Pair
When you combine the deep-cleansing benefits of the double-cleansing method with the nourishing power of oats, you get a skincare ritual that:
-
Cleanses without stripping
-
Soothes as it purifies
-
Leaves skin plump, calm, and glowing
Oats are especially powerful in the second cleanse—after your oil-based step, using an oat-based cleanser gently removes residue while infusing your skin with hydration and comfort.

📝 How to Incorporate Double-Cleansing Into Your Routine
Evening Routine:
-
Start with an oil cleanser to remove makeup, SPF, and oil-based impurities.
-
Follow with a gentle oat-based cleanser like Oat & Mandarin to purify and soothe.
-
Apply your serums, oils, and moisturiser while skin is still damp.
Bonus Tip: You don’t have to double-cleanse every day. Start with 2–3 evenings per week and see how your skin responds.
🌱 Conclusion: Double the Cleanse, Double the Care
